Why can tea look or taste slightly different between batches?

Tea, fruit, flowers and botanicals are agricultural ingredients. Harvest, season, cut and natural colour can create small variations in appearance and flavour.

Natural variation should not make a product unsafe or materially different from its description. Email us at info@boteane.co or call 0333 339 9947 from the UK or +44 333 339 9947 internationally if the change seems unusual, stale, contaminated or incorrect.
